How much the tinderbox is worth
Flameeyes's Weblog : —
Authority: 126
After some of the comments on the previous post explaining the tinderbox I’ve been thinking more about the idea of moving it to a dedicated server, or even better making it an ensemble of dedicated servers, maybe trying to tackle more than just one architecture, as user99 suggested. This brings up the problem ...4 days ago -
From scratch: about my tinderbox
Flameeyes's Weblog : —
Authority: 126
I know that quite a bit of people are still unsure on what a tinderbox is, on what it does, and especially on why they should care enough that I’m bothering them every other day about it on my blog (and by extension on Planet Gentoo and the Gentoo.org homepage which syndicate it). So I’m now trying to write a ...1 week ago -
Log analysis, yet again
Flameeyes's Weblog : —
Authority: 126
So I’m again trying to find a solution to the log analysis problem; the main issue at this point is that the tinderbox is generating something along the lines of 200MB of logs a week — probably also because thanks to Zac it’s much much more efficient than it was before. With such an amount of data to shuffle ...1 week ago -
Coming up with QA tests
Flameeyes's Weblog : —
Authority: 126
For the tinderbox I’ve been adding quite a few tests that are not currently handled by Portage; some of these tests as I said before are taxing, and all of them are linear, serial, which means that even with the huge amount of power Yamato they take quite some time (here the only thing that does help is the memory ...2 weeks ago -
Bigger, better tinderbox
Flameeyes's Weblog : —
Authority: 126
Well, not in the hardware sense, not yet at least, even though it’d be wicked to have an even faster box here (with some due control of course, but I’ll get back to that later). I’ll probably get some more memory and AMD Istanbul CPUs when I’ll have some cash surplus — which might not be soon. Thanks to ...2 weeks ago -
Interesting Gentlemen

I went to Conway Hall and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. Okay, so it wasn’t lousy, it was actually pretty good – and it wasn’t Interesting 2009, it was Interesting 2007 . I was in the audience for Interesting 2007 and, of course, loved it. I remember the axes. And everything else. I thought it was ...2 weeks ago -
Opening up the tinderbox
Flameeyes's Weblog : —
Authority: 126
As I said before, the tinderbox is hardly parallelisable but on the other hand, it can yield much better results if multiple instances are being executed, independently, by more people. Of course, this also requires that the executions are somewhat coordinated so that they don’t execute the exact process over ...3 weeks ago -
TINDERBOX & HYPERTEXT: A New Hyperfiction Writer!
Hypercompendia —
Authority: 116
Lord knows I push hypertext fiction to the point of being utterly obnoxious sometimes (Besides, I’m a Scorpio and I’m either flyin’ or dyin’ so deal with it.) but I really am still so high on the form and the possibilities that I can’t help but get excited when I’ve gotten someone intrigued enough to [...]3 weeks ago -
Why the tinderbox is a non-distributed effort
Flameeyes's Weblog : —
Authority: 126
In my previous post about a run control for the tinderbox, Pavel suggested me to use Gearman to handle the run control section; as I explained him earlier this evening, this is probably too much right now; the basic run control I need is pretty simple (I can even keep using xargs , if Portage gave me hooks for ...3 weeks ago -
Needing a run control
Flameeyes's Weblog : —
Authority: 126
You might not be familiar with the term “run control” even though you use openrc; guess what the rc stands for? This post might not be of any interest to you; it’s going to delineate some requirements for my tinderbox to be expanded and streamlined. So if you don’t care to help me or know not of ...4 weeks ago
